At Featherstone All Saints we believe we can all be a HERO (Here, Everyday, Ready, On time)
The ‘attendance team’ meet on a weekly basis to review individual and group attendance across school. We also rely on all staff to notice patterns of irregular school attendance or to help us identify improvements that have been made.
We celebrate good attendance weekly in our celebration assembly. Children are rewarded for their good attendance through a range of individual and whole class prizes.
Each week we track the attendance of individual classes. The weekly winning class receive 'Reward Time' on a Friday afternoon. The class are able to choose what this might be. Choices include an extra playtime, board games, iPad time. The class is also awarded a balloon which is displayed in the hall and added together at the end of each half term to win a whole class prize.
Every Friday, we draw the winner of our movie bag. This will start again this week for the 100% attendance children last week. The bag consists of all the treats you might want for a family movie night. The children who have achieved 100% attendance the previous week are put in a randomly generated draw. 152 children had 100% last week and one lucky child won a movie box to share with their family.
An example of the movie bag winnings below.
During this week, we have had 168 achieve 100% attendance.
Each term, we celebrate children who have achieved 100% attendance with a special assembly and prizes.

Featherstone All Saints does not authorise holidays taken in term time and works in partnership with the Education Welfare Service (EWS) regarding the issue of Penalty Fines. Pupils have an entitlement to an education, not a term time holiday.
